Significance of microbial binding in the formation and stabilization of a silurian carbonate forereef slope
The effect of microbial binding for the stabilization of steep carbonate slopes is well documented in Cenozoic examples but its significance and relationship with abiotic marine cements in Paleozoic reef syste...

Parameters Controlling Modern Carbonate Depositional Environments: Approach
First research on carbonate depositional environments dates back to the middle of the nineteenth century, when Nelson (1853) described the general morphology of the Bahamas and realized the origin of calcareou...

Controlling Parameters on Facies Geometries of the Bahamas, an Isolated Carbonate Platform Environment
The Bahamas are among the most extensively studied carbonate regions in the world, and a number of phenomena typical of calcareous environments have been first observed in the Bahamas. Early geological researc...

Belize: A Modern Example of a Mixed Carbonate-Siliciclastic Shelf
The Belize shelf is located on the eastern side of the Yucatan Peninsula (Fig. 3.1). It extends along approximately 300 km in a north-south direction and 10–40 km in an east-west direction. The Belize shelf lagoo...

Summary: The Depositional Systems of the Bahamas, Belize Lagoon and The Gulf Compared
It is well-known that the present might not be a straight-forward key to the past, especially where biological evolution is involved, but also because of large-scale fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 levels, and ot...

Bahamian carbonate platform development in response to sea-level changes and the closure of the Isthmus of Panama
In this paper we show that the development of the sediment architecture at the leeward toe-of-slope of Great Bahama Bank (Ocean Drilling Project Leg 166, Bahama Transect) during the last 6 Ma is not only a res...
